Abstract

Introduction: Nursing practice in pediatric oncology palliative care involves a complex set of practices aimed at preserving comfort, dignity, and well-being in the face of life-threatening illness, requiring sensitivity, technical preparation, and a comprehensive understanding of the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the child and their family. Objective: To analyze, in light of recent literature, the nursing practices developed in the context of pediatric palliative care and their contributions to quality of life in the illness process. Materials and methods: This is an integrative literature review, with a qualitative and exploratory approach, constructed from a systematic search in the SciELO, BVS, Lilacs, and PubMed databases, adhering to previously defined eligibility criteria. Results: It is expected to identify care strategies that enhance comfort, strengthen communicative bonds, incorporate subjective dimensions, and provide support for ethical, sensitive, and comprehensive care, as well as to recognize methodological limitations and institutional gaps that impact professional practice. Conclusions: Nursing is considered to play a structuring role in pediatric palliative care, and it is essential to improve training processes, assessment tools, and institutional policies that qualify and support care practice.
